Me and my Shadow!

Last week LC15 and 16 received a letter from our shadows. The letter asked us if we could find ways to use our body to make our shadows look more exciting! We had lots of fun trying out some creative poses with our groups. Here are some photos of us getting creative! 

         

                

                     

Noah's Story

It was a dark and stormy night. Tom and Zak were going tramping. They were in the hut and fast asleep. Then... Suddenly they heard some creaking so they tip toed out into the spooky forest. They shivered and ran down the path. The did not see the path end. "Where are we?" said Tom. "I don't know" said Zak. "Arhhhhhh!!" Zak screamed. Zak was 6 and Tom was fourteen. "We are lost". They ran some more and came to a clearing and found a castle. "Yay!" They went in the castle and heard some talking. They followed it but the castle was falling apart. The people all ran for their lives but... a dragon came and took Tom and Zak home. When they got home they said "What an adventure". "What adventure?" said Mum. "None of your business".

Book Character Day!

What a fun day we had on Friday! We were lucky enough to have Terry from the library come and read us a couple of Books written by NZ authors. Just before morning tea we had a parade so everyone in the school could see our super cool costumes. Well done to Liv who was picked by Mrs Kenyon for a special prize! 

The teachers were so impressed with how well we all dressed up!!

Special visitors!

On Friday we were lucky enough to have 2 special visitors pop in! We were visited by Manawatu Stu from Manawatu Sport and Kori the Penguin from SwimMagic. Thanks Mrs Kenyon for bring them in to see us, we loved the surprise!! :) 

Greater Than and Less Than!

Today in Maths we learned about less than, greater than and equal to. We all got into a group and then we found some things in the class to make sets to compare. Miss Crowther gave us some crocodile mouths and then we had to make two groups and decide which crocodile goes in between. 

We learned that the crocodile mouth is open towards the biggest number! 

Pattern and Algebra!

For the first 2 weeks of Term 4 we have been learning about Pattern and Algebra. We have been doing lots of fun activities in class to practice what we are learning!

We are fantastic at making patterns and saying the rules. For example if a pattern was orange, orange, banana, orange, orange, banana the rule would be AAB. 

You could help us practice at home by making patterns with anything around the house (pegs, cutlery, our toys etc) and getting us to tell you the pattern's rule! 

                      

                        

              

                   

Aaron's Tooth!

Today Aaron lost his first tooth while eating his Healthy snack. We can't wait to hear if the tooth fairy visited him!
